Hello Steve,

The message above was indeed for the mailing list. Sorry for the confusion. At this stage there is no documentation but I will add some as soon as this project can be useful.

In order to set it up you can run :

  * fabfile quickstart

then you should activate the virtualenv

I think you mean:

# fab quickstart

I get:

(~/work/fabric_factory)# fab quickstart

Aborting.

-------------------------

The reason, for me, is that you've hard-coded "python2.6" in the path in the project_linkage() function.  My default virtualenv is not python2.6.

Sorry, I've not got time right now to submit a patch but the other thing I changed, to make sure that the script didn't try to create the virtualenv again was:

def bootstrap():

    """

    Create a virtual env called ve and install pip

    """

    if not os.path.exists("./ve"):

        local('virtualenv ve')

        local('. ve/bin/activate; easy_install pip')

    else:

        print "No need to create virtualenv, 've' already exists"

I didn't mess around with the rest of it.  

Please let me know when you've got a new version up.  

Sounds like a great idea!

Thanks,

S
